Title: Donnie Darko ($11.24)
Run Time: 1hr.53 Min.
Summary: Some people see Donnie Darko (Jake Gyllenhall) as their regular average teenager. But he's a delusional teenager who meets a man-sized rabbit who shows him glimpses of the future. Frank (this man-sized rabbit) saves Donnie's life while leading Donnie out of his house when he should've encountered a bizzare death from a (falling) jet engine. The rest of the movie involves Donnie being held under Frank's influence. Frank uses Donnie to try to stop the world from ending. Therefore, Donnie has unusual powers (he's able to slam an axe half-way through a stone statue). And is able to flood the school. Where meets his soon-to-be girlfriend Gretchen (Jena Malone). Anything that happens from the point Donnie meets Frank untill 28 Days,6 hours,42 minutes, and seconds later will decide the fate of the world.
